Epic Sciences is a company founded in 2008, offering medical diagnostics characterizing circulating tumor cells. Its technology is licensed from Scripps Research Institute, based on inventions made by Peter Kuhn's lab at Scripps. Initially, Epic offered analysis services to companies developing drugs. The company's approach involves getting a blood sample, removing red blood cells, putting the remaining cells on a microscope slide, staining the cells with antibodies for a few cancer markers, imaging the slide, then using proprietary image analysis software that counts the stained cells and analyzes the cells based on morphophology and other factors; as of 2014 it took the software around two and a half hours to analyze a single slide; around 12 slides are generated from a standard 7.5 mL blood sample.
